Intel seems to have kicked the megahertz habit. It's probably music to Steve Jobs' ears.
More Quotes from Nathan Brookwood:
When they did the Pentium M, they were under tight constraints on power. Now, desktop and server are facing similar kinds of constraints. It's not so much battery life as it is noise, just the physics of cooling a really hot, small chip.Nathan Brookwood
I don't know how much Apple pays for that IBM chip, but you can bet it's absurdly low. Apple has this crazy idea that it shouldn't have to pay as much as everyone else. And whatever it's paying for the IBM chip, I'm sure it's paying more for the Intel chip.

Even two years out, I think what P.A. Semi brings out will be impressive because very few companies have focused on high performance and low power for less heat, and fewer still have focused on using the PowerPC architecture with all the software that's evolved for that.

That, of course, is the 64-bit question, ... Whether the AMD box can perform like IA-64 on Itanium. If the AMD box can do it, we'd be looking from a purely architectural point of view at a superior solution, because Intel is forcing people to make a compromise.

What Intel is trying to do is put some distance between multiprocessor configurations, which will be Xeon-based, and Pentium 4 chips for the desktop and low-end workstation environments,

AMD is clearly ahead on performance and per-watt power advantages, which more and more customers are sensitive to. And for the first half of this year at least, AMD's lead in these categories will accelerate.
